    Product Description
    Do you think that healthy food couldn't possibly taste good? Does the idea of "eating healthy" conjure up images of roughage and steamed vegetables? Author Ellie Krieger, host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, will change all that. A registered dietitian, Ellie is also a lover and proponent of good, fresh food, simply but deliciously prepared. And she's not about denial--no nonfat foods here, because when you take the fat out of natural foods, in go the chemicals. Don't deny yourself butter--use a pat of it, but put it front and center on those mashed potatoes, so you can revel in it with all your senses. The Food You Crave is all you'll need to change the way you eat and change the way you feel. It contains 200 recipes that cover every meal of the day and every craving you might have. Every recipe contains a complete nutritional breakdown, as well as tips on ingredients and techniques that will keep you eating smart and eating well.

    5 out of 5 stars More recipes than most books   January 7, 2009
    Sara (indianapolis, indiana)
    I got this particular recipe book for a friend of mine that is on weight watchers. A lot of the recipes are easily adaptable for any type of diet or lifestyle. The cookbook is very "meaty" in that it is stuffed to the brim with healthy and attractive recipes for any level of chef.


    5 out of 5 stars Best cookbook ever!   January 3, 2009
    Sher (Florida, USA)
    I own a ton of cookbooks. However, this is the first one that I've owned where I actually want to make everything in the book. We made our first two recipes tonight (Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta and Chickpea and Spinach Salad with Cumin Dressing). The taste was phenomenal and was both healthy and fresh. I've never actually like spinach or chickpeas, but my husband made this and I actually wanted seconds.

    I recommend this cookbook if you're looking to eat healthier foods that you will actually *want* to eat, instead of eating because you just know you need to eat healthier foods.

    I bought this book used, but would have gladly paid full price for it. Buy this cookbook. You will not be disappointed!



    5 out of 5 stars Great book with healthy meals that are actually HEALTHY!   December 31, 2008
    L. DeSalvo (Seattle, WA USA)
    Many times cookbooks claim to be "Healthy" and then are filled with chicken thighs, fatty cuts of meat, oil, and cheese. The Food you Crave is not one of those books. Everything we have tried in this book so far truly is healthy and delicious. I have been doing weight watchers for years and the recipes in this book are easily adaptable to the plan with very few changes. This book is quickly becoming a staple cookbook in our home.


    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding, inspiring book!   December 26, 2008

    This is another outstanding book by Ellie Krieger. Great recipes, beautiful pictures and very practical to use. Have used 4 times for gifts as well as for myself and love it.


    5 out of 5 stars Healthy is yummy   December 26, 2008
